KRIVIČNO DJELO SILOVANJA U REPUBLICI SRPSKOJ
A RAPE AS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE IN THE REPUBLIC OF SRPSKA

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to show the significant improvement in understanding the terms of a perpetrator and a victim regarding a crime of rape, as well as the blurred distinction among genders, meaning that both men and women can be perpetrators and victims. When dealing with a crime of rape, it is important to emphasize the intention to keep the topic out of frameworks of any particular taboos, especially regarding the possibility for men to be victims as well. In order to demistify „the male silence“, i.e. our cases of raping in which men are victims of other men, we set a question if women can be perpetrators of a crime of raping in which men are victims. This paper aims to use a comparative-legal analysis of regulations on the crime of rape from both BH entities and neighbouring countries in order to influence the alignment of law drafts in case of any deviations, improve the protection of the society and victims as much as possible, identify and prosecute perpetrators of the crime of rape as better as possible, and reduce „the black figure“, which, as we strongly believe, is more than present in our society.
